Mail....
Hey!

I got mail. From Heidi.
She is the Finnish girl I got to know in Cambridge.

So the point is that I am really happy about her mail, because...

1) We stay in contact. I would like to stay in contact with all people I like. But with some this is rather difficult......

2)News! I was really interested in some of the news she had to tell me and I am really looking forward to her next letter, when she tells me more about the recent developments.

3) I have to write back! Yes, it took me some time, but today I wrote an answer, I only have to get a stamp and that should not be too difficult as I am living next to a post office.

3a) I am absolutely bored at work and cannot manage to study 8 hours at once..... So writing the answer helped to spend one hour at work that was not too boring......

Last but not least:
I had a good lunch. Soaked though (it started pouring with rain on the way to the canteen), but the food was nice and the company, too.

And today is the last day on this workplace. Next week I am on vacation (theoretically...... studying for intermediate exams is not really holidays......) and after that there is some studying time with my fellows from the other courses........ After that the final year starts and I do not know if I would prefer being bored at work in future.....

Anyway..... I should start writing to other people....... Via email, this time!

So, if you've seen over 85 films you have no life... what if you seen over half the films on the list and then loads that arent on it?

Anyway: I have seen most of those moves in a coach on the way to France or somewhere else. Another great deal I have watched with my little cousins when they slept over. So I think I still have a life and last but not least: I watch little television so I have enough to watch the movies.....

Best watch movies with friends!!! That guarantees you still have a social life!!!

Neglect my blog.....
Shame on me...... I did not write something in my blog..... Y? Because I was soooooooo busy, when I got back home from Cambridge: Organising all the stuff that summed up to a huge pile on my desk during the 4,5 months, preparing my trip to Milan, learning for the Cambridge exams and of course work minimum 8 hours a day (excluding 2 hours traveltime).....
You see there was not much time to do anything else....

But now that I have already spent 3 weeks in Milan I could not stop thinking of a "blog-revival"..... I mean the purpose is still the same: Inform you about anything that happens to me abroad, only the country changed....

So, as many of you already know:
1) weather in Milan is very hot and sunny!!! Perfect for holidays ;-(

2) I do not speak a single word Italian and my colleagues do only speak little English, so often we miss the meaning of each others flood of words

3) I have one very funny colleague, who speaks German fluently..... He is an crazy, but lovely IT-Assistant

4) I expect lots of visitors, besides my mother and my uncle's girlfriend, so common and send me an email. After Nicky's visit I am perfectly informed and can arrange your whole travel itinerary. Do not be afraid, I have enough space to accommodate even two people at the same time...... Hmmmm maybe I should find a roommate..... Would help me to finance the Milanese way of live..... *only joking*

5) Yes, again I try to change my blog into an english one...... I hope it works, anyway, I think most people stopped reading this as nothing happened during the last 6 weeks, or so....

A short report and hopefully pictures of Nicky's visit will be posted next week. As I am lacking internet at home I need to stay at the office after finishing time to do that....

Miss and love you all!!!!!
